Drywaller Warning
by David Wirth 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

All, Beware of Luke Interiors (Owned by Andre Luketich) and D & J Restoration and Drywall (Owned by Jodi and Dave Moore). Luke Interiors took a drywall job at my home and then did the bait and switch, sending D & J to perform the work. D & J took my cash deposit and walked off the job without completing the work. Be aware of these 2 and put them on your do not use list! I've contacted the better business bureau, but don't expect anything to come of it. David

FS: Beautiful vintage/antique Diana the Huntress sculpture
by janet jai 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

12" high cast bronze figure of Diana the Huntress or Archer is signed Preiss. When we bought this a few years ago, we researched it and the upper torso is likely ivorine, a faux ivory. Base is onyx or something similar and is fairly heavy. Preiss was a leading sculptor in the Art Deco era. We believe this is a high quality reproduction from the 1930s or 1940s of the original. It is beautiful and so well made. She is a very powerful figure. Excellent condition. $100

Antique doorknob/lock repair / Leaded glass (cracked) repair recommendations?
by Adam Ratana 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hello neighbors, was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the following: - Antique doorknob / lock repair - our very old outer door has a doorknob and cassette style lock mechanism that comes loose and Ace Lock didn't seem to have the right parts / tools, but the technicians managed to secure it for a few months. It's now loose again, it seems like maybe a specialist with experience in these types of doors / locks might be needed? - Some panes in the leaded glass portion of one of our doors have cracks in them. Perhaps this can be sealed and further damage over time can be prevented? Appreciate any and all ideas! Thank you, -- Adam Ratana adam.ratana(a)gmail.com
